Randomizer Code - Turn any album into a randomizer

ashkir

šŸ‘½ Chevereto Freak
Shutting down my image host. The most popular feature was my randomizer. I thought I'd share the code so you can add it to your site! Please let me know if you decide to use and and what website! My users are looking for a new home (10k+).

Please note this is for v3. This was set up for htaccess/apache servers. If you use nginx please modify it for your server. I am too busy at this time and cannot provide support.

Step one:
Create a subdomain such as
random.yourhost.com

The PHP code. Save this in a file called i.php
PHP:
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "myusername";
$password = "mypassword";
$dbname = "mydatabase";
$id = intval($_GET['id']);


// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
  die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
$sql = "SELECT CONCAT('https://cdn.yourhost.host/',`image_name`, '.', `image_extension`) AS random_image FROM `chv_images` WHERE `image_album_id` = ".$id." ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
  // output data of each row
  while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
  $ranURL = $row["random_image"];
header ('Location: '.$ranURL);
  }
} else {
  echo "doesnt exist";
}
$conn->close();

Go to your Chevereto Themes and in the overrides for views/album.php (located in app/themes/Peafowl) look for the share snippet and add the following:
PHP:
<a class="btn blue" data-modal="simple" data-target="modal-random"><span class="icon fas fa-random"></span><span class="btn-text phone-hide">Randomizer</span></a>
                        <?php G\Render\include_theme_file('snippets/modal_random'); ?>

Go to overrides/snippets and create a new file called modal_random.php and use this code
PHP:
<?php if(!defined('access') or !access) die('This file cannot be directly accessed.'); ?> <?php $share_modal = function_exists('get_share_modal') ? get_share_modal() : G\get_global("share_modal"); ?> <div id="modal-random" class="hidden">    <span class="modal-box-title">Randomizer</span>    <p class="highlight margin-bottom-20 font-size-small text-align-center<?php if(is_null($share_modal["privacy"]) || $share_modal["privacy"] == "public") echo " soft-hidden"; ?>" data-content="privacy-private"><?php echo $share_modal['privacy_notes']; ?></p> Below you can grab your randomizer link! All album images in this album will be in the randomizer. You can add or remove images from the album at any time to effect the randomizer.    <div class="c8 phablet-c1">        <div class="input-label margin-bottom-0">            <label for="modal-share-url"><?php _se('Link'); ?></label>            <input type="text" name="modal-random-url" id="modal-random-url" class="text-input" value="https://random.yourhost.com/<?php $RanAlbumID = get_album()['id']; echo $RanAlbumID; ?>.gif" data-focus="select-all">        </div>    </div> </div>

Last part is your .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.gif$ https://random.yourhost.com/i.php?id=$1 [R=301,L]

I would also be interested in knowing if anyone has gotten this to work on V4 ^-^ And if they would mind providing a walk-through.
 
Here's V4 version, it has the following improves:
  • Uses native methods (no direct db connection)
  • Randomizer button matches default style
  • Adds a copy button to randomizer modal
  • Uses encoded IDs (not integer ids)
My version works at at /randomizer/id.gif because Nick's works on root, which causes that every gif embed loads the server which could result in higher server CPU load. My version doesn't have this problem as it works only for embeds at /randomizer folder.

Using Rodolfo's v4 code (and the latest version of Chevereto), I have all pieces of code in all the places they need to be. I'm even populating a Randomizer button with the correct link to my album. However, posting it to my forum doesn't populate any images. Posting the direct link to my forum for any image inside of the album works, just not the Randomizer GIF link itself. Is there any other setting I should be changing? Has anyone else run into this issue?
 
Thank you @Rodolfo for this. Iā€™m so glad someone updated it. I remembered years ago when I was asking if this was possible a lot of people on this forum laughed at me. Didnā€™t see the purpose erc. But your PM with some database hints let me get it working for my user base.

Now Iā€™m happy others can use it. This was by far the most popular feature on nickpic and now Iā€™m glad no matter where my community goes they have a chance to have this feature.
